Interesting. It's probably gonna be a pain when they want to add another unit to their roster...how they gonna get it there!?!

Well, if it can't get to another railroad, it can't receive any more cars - why would it need more power?

Because the one they have might derail, fail, catch on fire, be totalled, etc. Duh!

Well what they would do is Order the new loco or buy it from somebody. Ship it by rail to the closest it can get to the facility. Then they would take it off the rails put it up on a Tractor Trailer truck and ship it by road to the facility, then they would put the unit by cranes back onto the rails!

Oh. Well then that would not be "adding another unit to their roster", that would be replacing this one :)

Wade, great to see a shot of one of the most elusive, and in my opinion neat looking locos out there. By the way they did add another loco to the roster not all that long ago in the form of an ex Yankeetown Docks SD38-2, number 21 on the Cumberland.
